It abstracts the underlying protocol differences so you can query device status, receive state change notifications, and issue commands through a unified interface. The library depends on aiohttp for HTTP communication, orjson for fast JSON parsing, zeroconf for device discovery, and Bluetooth-related packages for wireless connectivity.\n\nYou instantiate either a BlockDevice (Gen1) or RpcDevice (Gen2+) with connection credentials, then interact with device blocks or status objects to read values and trigger actions. The library is under active development and designed to track the official Shelly API specification.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to control Shelly devices from Python. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. The requirement for Python 3.11+ and the 'under development' status mean you should expect occasional API changes and test thoroughly in production environments."},"id":"aioshelly","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioshelly","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioshelly.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aioshelly/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-27","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aioshelly","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Asynchronous library to control Shelly devices."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":95184,"position":13285,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"13.29.0"}
